The Smell Of Your Farts Reveal THIS About Your Health

There are two forms of universal comedy that transcend all language and race: Men getting hit in the crotch, and farts. The former inflicts serious pain on the victim, the latter on everyone within a 10-foot radius – unless, of course, you’ve mastered the art of silent, slow and inconspicuous gas release.

There’s another fundamental difference between crotch shots and flatulence –flatulence is a natural bodily function that can actually tell you a lot about your health.

First of all – What is a fart?

According to Oddee, farts are a mix of 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane, and 4 percent oxygen that occurs for a variety of reasons, ranging from swallowed air to chemical reactions in the intestines.

That gas needs to escape somehow, and your rectum is a rather efficient means of allowing it to happen.

Not all farts are created equal

As you’ve probably noticed, not all farts smell, or feel, for that matter, the same. So let’s get into a few of the common types of farts and what they mean about he or she who dealt it.

Scentless farts

Maybe you started laughing a bit too hard at your date’s joke, and one slipped through the crack. You brace for impact, hoping it will not be too bad and…

Statistically speaking, most of what makes up a fart is odorless. Only one percent of the “ingredients” actually cause odor, and the culprits are the sulfureous gasses from your intestines.

Such farts are likely simply a result of excess air in your body – similar to a burp, just leaving through a different opening. They are completely healthy and normal.

Slightly smelly farts

These are the ones that people typically ignore in a crowded room past the age of 10. Well, actually, several people in the vicinity probably think about cracking a joke but figure the smell will be gone by the time they reach the punchline.

There are many very healthy foods that can cause farts to smell – meaning, of course, that slightly smelly farts are also nothing to be too concerned about.
